Well, this is interesting.  My 100th entry on this blog.  To be honest, I never really expected to even write 10, let alone 100.  I'm far from the most diligent person on the planet.  But, hey...

Of course, I never really thought I'd get off on some of the tangents I've gotten off onto...  I had no idea I'd get addicted to playing with Linux distros.  I figured I'd be off, rattling about fountain pens and odd movie bits.  Never anything technical...

Oh well...

I notice, too, that I've had 1200 hits up to the 99th entry.  I've seen folks from all over the world, from England, Germany, Italy, Russia, even China, as well as the U.S., popping up in the stats.  I do want to say"Hello!" and 'Thanks!" to all the folks who have dropped in and read my ramblings.  I hope some of the stuff has been entertaining, maybe informative, or at least distracting.  It makes me feel good, and rather humbled, that all of you have taken time from many busy days to stop and have a read of what silliness I have to say.  Thank you all again.  I appreciate the company.

Now, on to my normal bit of self-absorbed meandering...  ;-)

It's been a very nice day here.  I managed to get out and about, even getting to run out to the country for a while.  A decent Saturday.

Of course, I've spent most of the afternoon hanging over a hot CD/DVD burner, putting a few distro .iso's on disk.  I burned both Netrunner and Fuduntu to DVD, and did some liveboot work with them.  Both are awesome setups, and I like them both.  If I had to choose between one or the other as my one & only system, I'd have a hard time of it.  I'd seriously been thinking of replacing Crunchbang on the Thinkpad T60, but...  I just don't know...

I'll have to do more playing.

Also burned a CD-R of MacPup 5.2.9, the version of Puppy Linux that uses Enlightenment as its interface manager.  I ended up playing with the liveboot of this far longer than with the other two, and all I can say is 'Wow!'  It's a beautiful little setup, and I took a major liking to it.  So much so, in fact, that I think this is going to be my first distro that I'm going to install onto USB drive, and use as an ultraportable production setup.  (Yes, it's that good!)  The debate now is whether to clean off one of my old 8 GB thumb drives, or try out one of the new 16 GB drives that I squirreled away after the holidays.

Given MacPups small size, 8 GB would give me plenty of storage.  But 16 GB fits under that "the more, the merrier" bit, so...

Decisions, decisions...  We'll see what we end up with...

Again, thanks everyone for stopping and spending some time!
